 Yes, she can probably kick your ass!  Jamie is also a model who has graced the covers of prominent magazines like FHM, Maxim, and Cosmopolitan.  As a model and influencer, Jamie  has become known for flawless good looks, great physique and beautiful hair.  We caught up with Jamie to discuss her beauty routine:  
 
SSI: Hi Jamie, it’s great to have you here. Could you tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got into social media influencing?
 
Jamie: Hi, thank you for having me  I started my social media career by sharing my personal style and wellness tips. Over time, my audience grew, and I started collaborating with brands and creating content for them. It’s been an incredible journey, and I feel grateful for the opportunities that social media has provided me.
 
SSI: You are known for your flawless hair, among other things. What is your secret, and how does Rare Elements fit into your beauty routine?
 
A: My hair has been through a lot, from constant styling to being exposed to harsh chemicals. I’ve tried a lot of different products, but none of them seemed to work until I discovered Rare Elements Hair Collection. The Collection has revolutionized my beauty routine by bridging the gap between Salon quality and Natural Hair products. Rare Elements products are free from harsh or harmful chemicals, which makes them perfect for my hair. They are also loaded with rare and unique ingredients that go beyond replacing the temporary solution of synthetic enhancers with the healing nourishment and lasting results that only nature can provide.
 
As far as recommendations, I have a few: 1. Develop a daily skincare routine. A good skincare routine involves cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and protecting your skin from harmful UV rays. 2. Stay hydrated to help keep your skin hydrated and flushes out toxins from your body. 3. Get enough sleep.  I aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep every night; and, 4. Protect your skin from the sun.  Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day, even on cloudy days, to protect your skin from harmful UV rays that can cause skin damage and premature aging.

SSI:  Great tips to live by!  Could you tell us more about the specific Rare Elements products that you use and why they work so well for you?

Jamie: Sure. I use the El’ Treatment Pre-Shampoo Hair & Scalp Serum, which promotes stronger healthier hair growth and leaves visible results after just one treatment. It’s formulated with Marula Oil, Camelina Oil, Baobab Seed Oil, and Olive Squalane, which provide 100% pure natural nourishment to my hair.

I also use the Pure Shampoo Hair Bathe, which is formulated with a rare Kalahari Watermelon seed oil. It’s unique ability to soothe troubled scalp conditions and target the specific needs of undernourished & overworked hair makes it the perfect choice for all hair types.

The Essential Lite Conditioner is another favorite of mine. It’s formulated with rare, exotic ingredients that offer a daily dose of nourishment and moisture to help replenish and repair undernourished, overworked hair. Finally, I use the Marula Cocktail Leave-In Styling Treatment, which adds an extra boost of much-needed moisture and nourishment to enhance shine, control frizz, and condition the hair all day long.

Q: Those products sound amazing. Do you have any advice for someone who is looking to switch to natural hair care products like Rare Elements?

A: My advice would be to start slow and find the products that work best for your hair type. It’s essential to give your hair time to adjust to natural hair care products because they work differently than synthetic products. It’s also essential to read the labels and understand the ingredients in the products you’re using. With Rare Elements Hair Collection, you can trust that the ingredients are 100% natural and provide nourishment to your hair.

SSI:  As a supermodel known for her physique, what are some of your favorite swimwear companies that you may want to mention?

Jamie:  I do a lot of modeling shoots wearing a bikini.  It’s important that it feels good, fits well, with a great design.  I love the company Beach Bunny Swimwear.   They have been incredibly supportive and have offered some of the best designs in the business. 

SSI:  They look like a great swimwear company, and we know swimwear!  What about when you’re not modeling or more casual wear that you can still represent when someone wants to take a photo or you post on your media?

Jamie:  I love the brand Wren & Glory.  It was started by two talented sisters and has some great clothes you can call “wearable art”.  They’re just beautiful.

SSI:  Well, thank you Jamie.  We will be sure to check these out on Instagram @wrenandglory and @hiflyingdress.    Good luck to you, and keep up the great work!  We will keep an eye on you as you continue in your fabulous modeling career!
